There are times when I wonder at the methods of some...less savory organizations. Apparently, one way they gain recruits is to "lovebomb" them. That is, to express strongly and repeatedly the members' love for the new recruit, thus gaining their trust, friendship and quite an unshakable faith.
It puzzles me how such a tactic can work. Ok let's assume for one that I do not notice that the love is fake. As in something uttered from lips with little substance to back it up. Doesn't seem particularly attractive. Someone talking about love all day would probably make me feel seriously ill, and I might just silence them by some rather unpleasant means. Seriously. I don't feel bad about taking extreme measures when someone's being that annoying.
Then assume that I somehow want to receive such affections. I guess that would require me to be in quite a receptive state. As in needing that kind of love. I don't know...never actually believed in that sort of love. The love that I believe in cannot be expressed in words; only in actions. It does make me wonder, though, how people can be seriously convinced into believing that mere words and a few superficial deeds can buy them a new family. Then it makes me think...man what's become of the state of families nowadays?!
